Criteria for initiation of motion of rigid bodies to base excitation.
It is known that when an unanchored rigid body is placed on a horizontal base which oscillates horizontally, it may undergo one of four modes of motion : rest, slide, slide-rock and rock. Initiation of a rigid body into these modes depends on the slenderness ratio of the body, the coefficient of fri...
